Erling Haaland is the perfect tactical fit for Manchester City, according to analysts, and a deal for the Borussia Dortmund star would be incredible value for money.
An analysis of Europe's best forwards suggests the Norwegian would thrive at the Etihad and be a better bet than either Kylian Mbappe or Harry Kane.
Given Haaland is only 21, City could even recoup their costs on fees and wages - which would total around £200million - after four years.
As revealed by Sportsmail, City are frontrunners in the race for the star forward, personal terms have been discussed and if he makes the move, Haaland would become the Premier League's top earner, with a salary in excess of £500,000 a week.
